Wow, your description of banh mi seems even more restrictive than the definition. My initial hypothesis would be that (at least some) Vietnamese Americans heavily specialised. My impression is that they're more a West Coast thing. Over here, they're known for being cheap ($4 or so) insofar as they'...

An interesting thing about the Tocharian reflex is that only the places of articulation metathesized -- PToch. käntwo must be from pre-PToch. *ǵn̥dʰwéh₂- (rather than **ǵʰn̥dwéh₂-), since PIE *d becomes either PToch. *ts or zero. The initial of lingua is a Latin-specific innovation -- it's absent in...

It looks African, but it also looks a little like Hlu.

(At least when it's written in a nonstandard orthography to exaggerate the similarities.)

@Nort: I think the only Vietnamese food I'm familiar with are nems. As far as I can tell, 'banh mi' refers to either 'bread' or sandwich and is not particularly Vietnamese to start with. I've never heard of nems, but it sounds like they're the same thing as spring rolls, which are maybe the same th...

A common image of American cuisine abroad is the association with fast food joints like McDonalds and KFC. Sure, and over here the only image anyone has of Vietnamese food is pho and banh mi. (I assume Vietnam has better banh mi than the universally godawful shit we get here.) I now know about the ...

big bump. I mentioned NORT PORK elsewhere, so here is the recipe for NORT PORK Ingredients: - pork of some sort, ideally pork chops - Sichuan peppercorns - soy sauce - rice vinegar - butter - whatever else you want to put in the sauce (oyster sauce can work, as can peanut butter) Instructions: - cut...

A couple years since they finished building a new hotel across from my bus stop and a restaurant has finally moved in. A chicken fingers restaurant . My first reaction to it was, "There it is: the complete infantilisation of our cuisine is finally complete." Today is the grand opening. As of 9 a.m....

I've tried to pay attention to Jordan Peterson and somehow never manage to find the part where he says anything, but that Macleans article would get thrown out as too over the top if some scriptwriter tabled the idea of putting it in Idiocracy.

IIRC, Kusunda has height harmony [and uvular consonants condition the low set], but functional load is low and there's a lot of free variation.

Palatals became apical postalveolar in Mandarin, and Slavic has apical postalveolars as outcomes of palatalizing sound changes. Aren't true retroflexes very rare outside Dravidian? And do they ever contrast with apical postalveolars? A voiceless velar lateral fricative is attested in a few languages...
